Comment 21 for bug 193419

It still flickers with the Driver "intel" placed in the xorg.conf file but I haven't had any blackouts yet.

One thing I have noticed is that the shaking seems to stop when I leave the laptop screen on. My laptop has a nice feature that when I press Fn+F6 it turns off the back light but not the actual pixels, and it still shows at 1280x1024.

I would like to mention that I have trouble using the external monitor after having it on standby where it seems to freeze the image.

I connect and wake it up after coming home then press Fn+F5 to set the screen. It then sets the display to the correct 1280x1024 but seems to be stuck showing last thing on the 1280x800 display with a black bar occupying the remaining lower 224 rows. Moving the mouse around shows that there is still something working as the courser will change when hovering over window borders or hyperlinks etc. Killing X (or log off) fixes this easily enough.

Can anyone else verify this behaviour? Or if it is at all related to this same bug(s).
